Ok, if you load undefined values into the CPSR, then a lot of things may 
happen.  What is the value of r2 before the msr?  It should be 0x13.

I think there is a bug in

void _CPU_Context_Initialize(
   Context_Control *the_context,
   void *stack_area_begin,
   size_t stack_area_size,
   uint32_t new_level,
   void (*entry_point)( void ),
   bool is_fp
)
{
   the_context->register_sp = (uint32_t) stack_area_begin + stack_area_size;
   the_context->register_lr = (uint32_t) entry_point;
   the_context->register_cpsr = new_level | arm_cpu_mode;
}

if new_level != 0.  Is this the case here?
